I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

#MorningVibe Breaking generational cycles starts with how we speak to ourselves. When her daughter called her tummy "squishy," this mom turned an insecurity into a lesson on body love. We must show our daughters they are magical. #WomenEmpowerment

Screenshot of a social media post from factpostnews reading: “Leavitt on Epstein: ‘We're moving on from that.’” Below is a video still of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt speaking at the White House briefing room podium. An American flag stands to her left, and a backdrop reads “The White House.” A lower-third banner indicates she is responding to a question about Epstein files, with a C-SPAN logo and “LIVE” timestamp visible.

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

We’ve spent time over the past few weeks criticizing Democrats who are pro-ICE, like the 7 House Dems who voted for DHS funding. But this is an important no vote, and it’s incredibly that every Dem senator + 8 Republicans (counting Fetterman) voted against it. Dem Senate leadership stood up today🎉

It's crucial to know these ICE officers knew Pretti. They broke his rib when they arrested him a week earlier. So they knew he carried a gun & had a concealed carry permit. They knew if they shot him he'd probably have a gun. And it appears they track folks—and hold grudges. bsky.app/profile/clau...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

For the left, there’s a fracture between neoliberals and progressives. For the right, it’s between Nazis and moderates. Progressives and moderates are finding common ground in resistance. Currently can’t tell if establishment Dems will join the Nazis in the minority or the People in the majority.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.
